Barcelona forward, Antoine Griezmann has revealed that he has never played competitive football without spectators presents and admitted that it would be “very strange” to play under such circumstances.
Barcelona visit the Estadi de Son Moix to face Mallorca on June 13 in their first La Liga game after the break occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic.
Spain’s top flight has been suspended since March but resumes later this month.
Griezmann said there was no doubt it would be unusual to play with no fans in attendance due to COVID-19.
“The first game will be in Mallorca, but it will be very strange to play without an audience,” he said during a conversation on Twitch on Thursday.
“It will be the first time I have experienced something like this,” he added.
With 11 games left to play in LaLiga, Barcelona hold a two-point lead over rivals Real Madrid.
Griezmann, who has scored 14 goals in 37 games this season, said he made the most of family time during the suspension of the campaign.
“I had never been so long stopped,” he said.
“Yes, it is true that during these days I was able to enjoy my children.”
